DOA...(but I still like G Skill)

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL11D-8GBXL
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL11D-8GBXL

Pros: I've had this ram in my system for about a year without a hiccup. It is fast and does it's job well. Looks friggin' awesome!

Cons: none...read other thoughts.

Overall Review: Just ordered another 8 gigs a few days ago, got it in today, was excited to bump my system to 16 gigs...turned on the computer and got the 5 second loop of nada. Took out the new ram, left the originals in and computer worked fine. Oh well, just gotta wait the RMA process now. Yes my title looks negative, BUT I still gave this product 5 eggs. This is because I know ____ happens and I'll get taken care of by NEWEGG. I will continue to use G Skill as I feel they make great products which look sweet too! =)

Second review-7 months later

ASUS Laptop EeeBook X205TA-DS01-BL-OFCE Intel Atom Z3735F (1.33 GHz) 2 GB Memory 32 GB eMMC Intel HD Graphics 11.6 Windows 8.1 32-Bit
ASUS Laptop EeeBook X205TA-DS01-BL-OFCE Intel Atom Z3735F (1.33 GHz) 2 GB Memory 32 GB eMMC Intel HD Graphics 11.6 Windows 8.1 32-Bit

Pros: -has 2 USB slots -has a micro HDMI slot -has a mini SD card slot -power button is separate from keyboard and doesn't feel cheap -keys give good "feedback" -hasn't died (yet) -screen is actually pretty good -always starts up quickly (duh, SSD) -small, light -doesn't feel cheap -can be used for school -runs Win10 fine -can play most YouTube vid's fine; obviously if you try HD you'll be highly disappointed. -sound is decent -Bluetooth connects quickly (I know it also depends on the other device)

Cons: -no scroll with trackpad (but I just use a wireless mouse anyways) -i've lost connection with wifi 3x now; once being while taking a test in the school library! Auto-save saved my gluteus maximus (is that okay Newegg?) -wifi doesn't have great range

Overall Review: I have owned and operated this laptop for a bit over 7 months. I mainly bought it to tune my car from the driver's seat and not have some huge brick to deal with, but I started school FT and now I use it every day. It has been sufficient for most basic programs such as Microsoft Office. This laptop does leave me wanting more now, such as more drive space, more video capability, and a touchscreen. I will, however, use this until it breaks, so that I can be forced to upgrade. Knowing what I know now, I would've spent just a bit more for a slightly more powerful laptop., but not bad for $199.

Genius Traveler 6000Z 31030023102 Black Scroll Button USB 2.4GHz Wireless Optical Optical Mouse
Genius Traveler 6000Z 31030023102 Black Scroll Button USB 2.4GHz Wireless Optical Optical Mouse

Pros: It does half of what it's supposed to.

Cons: The other half, it fails. The scroll wheel stopped working. Also, upon opening the package, this thing felt cheap instantly. The plastic feels like it'll break the first time you drop it. The USB dongle receiver is very cheap as well.

Overall Review: Newegg basically refunded my purchase without needing me to send it back. Obviously the it's not worth the price to ship. Newegg is awesome!

Amendment to my other review

AVG Internet Security 2014 - 1 PC
AVG Internet Security 2014 - 1 PC

Pros: I am writing this with regards to my other review stating that I could not find the rebate form...the rebate popped up immediately after I had placed my last review. So, I will say that AVG is great, it has been working great and I will continue to use it.

Cons: None

Second drive; first was DOA

WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD10EZEX

Pros: Drive is doing what it's supposed to do.

Cons: First drive was DOA, so I RMA'd it. Newegg was fast with the entire process...I love you Newegg!

Overall Review: Only time will tell with this drive.

Good but...

Link Depot POW-SATA-EXT 1.33 ft. SATA Power Extension Cable

Pros: Does what I bought it for.

Cons: Minor, but the plastic backing on one end just fell off; this makes me think the quality isn't the best. Hopefully that is the only flaw.
